Like, dude...how many people still have their Bookkeeping II class textbook from 1967? Guess it could be put on Ebay, but no one would bid on it. Actually, was talking about the guy who still owns the book. Well, obsolete the textbook may be, but at least it had no chapters on doing Enron-like accounting. Everything was very straightforward indeed, back then.
If we could Time Travel back to the fall of '67, you and I would know where to find me, so in case you bore some kind of grudge, you could wait outside the cafeteria at 11:10 AM and inflict mayhem on the kid assigned to Locker 10...ponder this question: If we could be cloned, would we be beside ourselves??
The lock combination is well documented. Now this will prove beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt that The Kid from Locker 10 - sounds like the title for a bad boxing movie - is not well. He still has the combination lock somewhere; in fact, stashed away somewhere in the garage he is sure - with the blue, circular face and white numbers, and MADE IN THE USA too! Perhaps it will be used to padlock the Kid from Locker 10's loony bin someday, not too far down the road.
Maybe this one tops it all.
The Locker 10 loco with his freshman year PE - or as we called it back then, "Phys Ed" shirt. What did "it" weigh then? A hundred, hundred-ten maybe?? Proves one thing for sure, besides the fact he is afflicted with Terminal Pack-Ratism: He ain't grown much and a magnifying glass is still a useful tool when looking for him - or it - whatever you think fits best. No pun intended. One more thing - the shirt was MADE IN THE USA in those days. Not in Honduras. Not in Bangladesh. Not in the People's Republick of Cheecken. No, made in good ol' Rochester, New York by Champion Knitwear Company; 100% cotton, size...small...what did you think?
Here's what the Kid from Locker 10 thinks: About time some of you do some archeological diggin' and share your ILS "stuff." And please keep digging for our lost classmates and direct them our way.
